Toffee & Buttercrunch

The Best Toffee: An American Favorite With Origins In Britain

Who would think, to look at a cup of sugar and a bar of butter, that combining the two at high heat would produce wonderful toffee! Thank goodness for adventurous cooks.

Toffee is basically caramelized sugar and butter...but follow the trail after that and the story gets confusing. Read all about it in The ABC’s of Toffee (including the difference between toffee and buttercrunch). We eat dozens of toffees and buttercrunch candies each year, looking for “the best of the best.” If you have a favorite you’d like to share with us, click here to tell us about it.
